Ask how Roselle takes notes - words, equations, concepts to look up later

- needs a good macro way to enter greek text and equations. Tex, with macros. Greek modifier.
school of humanities - dean - has a friend who scans books. they put it on CD, separate the chapters into tracks
there was a teacher's congress last wednesday to friday courtesy of RBI.
She uses a slate to keep track of her notes. She's really fast at it, too.
Stores text.

Needs Greek letters and mathematical symbols read out correctly, and normal screen readers can't do that. Alpha, however, needs to be treated as a primitive - that is, forward character goes past it in one go. Customizable behavior.

Need to access concepts from before quickly. For example, spectral decomposition.
linear combination of products of eigenvectors.
The lecture proceeds very quickly, however, so it may be difficult to refer to the equations.
You need to be able to quickly review a matrix or equation.

Need for several different 'views' of an equation, like TV Raman said. Quick browsing mode, where everything is just read. Then a study mode that allowed you to restructure it, or move it, or whatever.

Look into string compression for equations

For extra warm fuzzies, figure out how to differentiate types of variables. "what is e?" "e is a matrix." "e is a variable." "e is a 5-tuple", and the ability to review all equations that set its value.

Must worry about square roots and parentheses and ellipses.
Maybe there's a way to use simplified terms...

capital lambda

pauses can indicate groups

grouping symbols ending

quantity

braille symbol is postfix in the way that it's written, so that's why it's better to keep track of quantity

... close quantity
quantity for parenthesis

next term - to get out of the square root
square root of x next term y

and then y
fractions with fractions for numerators and denominators
usually her brother reads it
